What’s the difference between brewer’s yeast and nutritional yeast? That’s what we’re going to cover today.
Yeast isn’t a bad thing—it’s a crucial part of your microbiome. But, if you kill off your friendly bacteria, you can get an overgrowth of yeast, which can be harmful.
The benefits of friendly yeast in the gut:
• It helps defend against pathogens
• It helps make glutathione (a powerful antioxidant)
• It helps regulate cholesterol
• It helps build immunity against certain pathogens
• It may help increase breast milk production
• It supports healthy blood sugar levels
Both brewer’s yeast and nutritional yeast are inactive, so you won’t develop a yeast infection from consuming either one.
Let’s look at nutritional yeast vs. brewer’s yeast. First off, brewer’s yeast or baker’s yeast is typically grown on beet sugar, which is GMO.
Nutritional yeast is typically grown on molasses, which has a lot of nutrition. Nutritional yeast is a product people take to enhance their nutrients.
Brewer’s yeast or baker’s yeast may have more protein, but nutritional yeast has more B vitamins. There are a lot of amazing health benefits of nutritional yeast, and the fact that it's rich in natural B vitamins is the main reason many people choose it.
Be sure to avoid nutritional yeast that is fortified with synthetic B vitamins. This can lead to negative reactions in some people. Always get unfortified nutritional yeast.

If I had found your channel 10 years ago, I probably would not have inflammed prostate, acid reflux or gerd(I dont even know the name), 5 teeth loss due to having sweet tooth, and finally incorrect spine all at the age of 20.
@Steve Woodland Losing 5 teeth due to sweet tooth rlly?
Take 1tbs each of ACV, lemon and olive oil, mix a bit of orange juice with it for taste!!! *First thing in the morning and your stomach will thank you… ALL disease’s start in the gut! Thanks goes to Dr Eric Berg for this, he is a great nutritionist!!!!!
@handmaidmd for sure
@SGDC DC you are so right about that……. It’s never too late
@Steve Woodland yup
I always enjoy your teachings. Thank you Dr.
Glad to hear that! You’re very welcome.
Dr Berg is the knowledge doctor for real 🥰
I used to give my two German Shepherd dogs brewers yeast mixed in with their food. They NEVER had a problem with fleas!
Wow! I wonder if finicky cats would eat it, that awesome!
@Linda Pelle Just start out with very tiny amounts and then increase up to a teaspoon full!!
I will try that. I live in S.Texas where the fleas are brutal.
i tried giving it to my cat but she smelled something is off and said f you human, give me my usual stuff!!!
Psychic as usual! I almost bought a jar of nutritional yeast the other day. I used to love sprinkling it on my vegetables.
Dr Berg has AGAIN improved my life. Thank you.
You’re very welcome! Glad to help!
Nice Dr Berg. I have been adding nutritional yeast to my broths. Glad to know it helps so much in stress reduction.
Please what is the name????🙏🙏🙏🙏👌
@Sandra Yousefi Name of what?
Wonderful!
@mandandi Vitamin B Nutrition ????🙏🙏
I love the non-fortified nutritional yeast. I sprinkle it on my salad instead of croutons. I’ve tried the fortified but it is flavorless. Try Anthony’s brand through Amazon.
Dr. Berg, you were speaking about sugar beets being GMO in this country. That’s true, however while you were talking about sugar beets, red beets were displayed on the screen. People that didn’t grow up in a farming community that had a lot of sugar beets may be confused.
I noticed that too.

Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Thank you Dr Berg for your research and caring heart to help resolve lifelong issues. Much appreciated.
One of my favorites, sauteed asparagus in garlic and herb butter and olive oil, and then topped with nutritional yeast.
Sounds yummy!
@Dr. Eric Berg DC it really does 🙌🏼🪄
For those who workout: This is the best preworkout you can take (if you eat carbs) even a pinch dissolved in a little water gives you a noticable boost (if you don’t have enough B vitamins)
Will that pinch break a fast?
thats just promoting not eating vegetables. “why eat vegetables when u can sprinkle this instead for b vitamins”
@Daniel C I would think it would be a better substitute for someone not willing to eat eggs or organ meats like liver.
Wow!!! Fascinating video! My son has the mthfr mutation. We’ve been to countless doctors who have prescribed b12 and folate , but never nutritional yeast (which I have in my cabinet). Difficulty sleeping, racing mind, anxiety are some of his symptoms so this could definitely be a contributor! Thank you so much for all you valuable information!!!
Thank you dr. Berg for all your hard work and care.
My pleasure.
Thank you so much for this! Would you be open to doing a video on the MTHFR gene mutation. I discovered I have this and would love to learn more.
Here’s some videos that may help!

I was using nutritional yeast regularly before and during my first pregnancy and never had morning sickness. By my next two pregnancies, I had fallen out of the habit of taking nutritional yeast, and I suffered progressively worse morning sickness. I’ve always assumed it was the great nutritional benefits of nutri yeast that prevented or ameliorated the morning sickness.
Thank you, Dr. Berg for this wealth of information you give us for free. I’m learning so much about my body/health. Your efforts and time are much appreciated.
me too, perfect words!
Thank you so much for mentioning MTHFR polymorphisms! I have some (not the B vitmain one) and it makes taking supplements really tricky so I try to find natural sources when at all possible.
If you are neurodivergent (ASD/ADHD, etc) these mutations occur at a higher rate. Definitely get tested if so! Sone also affect Vit D absorption and catecholamine absorption as well. It’s great to know this before taking meds or supplements.
For someone who is very new to the whole concept of nutritional yeast (aside from seeing vegans add it to their meals in cooking videos for years), can you provide us with content on ways that nutritional yeast can be used? For example- does it have to be cooked? What dishes does it go best with for full positive effect on the body and micro biome? Thank you so much for everything Doctor Eric!!
